Origin: A borrowing from Portuguese. Etymons: Portuguese mascavado, mascabado, mascabar.
Etymology: < Portuguese mascavado (16th cent.), variant of mascabado (adjective) unrefined (of sugar), past participle of mascabar to adulterate < menoscabar (see mischieve v.). Compare Spanish (azúcar ) mascabado (1680; also moscabado , perhaps after (nuez ) moscada : see nutmeg n.), French †mascouade (1666; also †mascovades, †masconnades, †mascouades, †mosconade), moscouade (1814; also moscovade).With early use in plural perhaps compare molasses n.; compare plural use in French. The forms of the word in English and French have perhaps been influenced by confusion (or fanciful association) with the names of Muscovy and Moscow and variants thereof (see Muscovite n.1 and adj., Moscow n.).
More fully muscovado sugar. Raw or unrefined sugar obtained from the juice of the sugar cane by evaporating it and draining off the molasses.In early use frequently in plural.
